Expandable: the ability to upgrade Lens / CCD assembly at a later
date should be attractive to alot of people

Speed: Great response times because of the large internal memory
buffer

Easy to use, good control layout, intuitive interface (hint modes
make setting up the camera for different shots easy)

Compact and fairly lightweight

When used in combination with NiMH rechargeable batteries, battery
life is good

Real black and white mode

IrDA connectivity (camera - laptop/palmtop & camera - camera)

3.5fps Burst mode

Conclusion - Cons

Image detail can be affected occasionally by noise

What no tiliting LCD?

Fiddly to use manual focus in Macro mode (may look in focus
on the LCD but when you get the image onto your PC you realise
you were way out...)

Noisy / cheap zoom mechanism

Badly positioned CF card slot (inside the battery compartment)

Flash is can be difficult to "get right", only use
in normal mode if more than 1.5m from subject, otherwise use Macro
mode

Buttons may be a little small for some fat fingers

Construction not up to the quality levels of other digicams

Digita implementation does not allow scripts to control aperture
or shutter settings (this means no aperture and no shutter priority
via software)

The Final Word

I like this camera, but then I've said that. It
offers excellent value for money (compared to other cameras in the
same price bracket; although I would consider it to be part of the
"second generation" of megapixel compact digicams), with
good resolution, good colour rendition and great flexibility (Digita
operating system). And you know it's such a relief to be able to
take a shot and have such a short cycle time ready to take the next.

I guess the ultimate test for any
digital camera is how well it can take photographs, and this camera
does that very
well, my only *errr* would be that if you get up close (200%
or 300%) to an image you can see noise (on some occasions) and if
you need a camera which can produce quality images for large size
printing then this camera may not be perfect for you.

But if you're that remaining 95%
you'll be very happy with this camera, especially if you're publishing
images on the web. With a little care and a short learning curve
you'll soon be producing images that make you go "mmm.. nice".
